Abstract

Three new methods to assess the degree of anteversion or retroversion of the femoral component of a total hip prosthesis are described. Compared with previously described methods, the new methods make few physical demands on the recently operated patient. The only requirement is that the affected femur be held in a neutral position parallel to the x-ray table. The methods are relatively easy to perform and are accurate and objective.

Umbilical cord insertion: normal location in neonates.

The distances between the xyphoid appendix and the insertion point of the umbilical cord (XU) and between the xyphoid appendix and upper edge of the pubic symphysis (XP) were measured in 201 newborn infants. The mean ratio XU/XP was 0.62 (S.D. 0.044) with no differences between sexes nor correlations with weight or length. Ratios lying between 0.53 and 0.71 can be considered as within the normal range.

A clinical research perspective: look to the obvious.

The solution to nursing problems can often be found by using a combination of a naturalistic approach and traditional scientific methods. To illustrate this link, the development of a pacifier for low birth weight infants is described. The observation of fetus' thumb sucking in utero led to a broadly based literature review that suggested the idea of the thumb as an appropriate model for nonnutritive sucking. An anthropometric study was conducted to determine if the size of the thumb correlated with the size of the mouth. The correlations between the mouth and thumb further strengthened the appropriateness of the thumb as a model for a low birth weight infant pacifier.

[Life style of children and obesity in a population of 5-year-old children].

The increasing level of childhood obesity has prompted some research into the early risk factors likely to lead to preventive measures. A case-control study was conducted of a five year-old population in the Rhône and Isère administrative "départements" of France during the children's first visit to primary school, with the participation of 327 obese children and 704 controls. Anthropometric data on the children since birth, together with data on their lifestyles, were collected in interviews with parents. "Family obesity" and "obesity at birth" were found to be closely related to the child's obesity at five years old (adjusted OR = 2.7 and 2.1 respectively). Of the environmental factors, the hypothesis tested paid specific attention to television viewing, snacks between meals and lack of sleep. These three variables were all found to be risk factors of obesity at five years old. However after allowing for parental obesity, the only remaining significant risk factor for obesity at five was lack of sleep (adjusted OR = 1.4). The pathogenic assumptions raised by these results are discussed.
